PUNAKAIKI AND THE PANCAKE ROCKS -

A WILD COAST ECO TOUR

The heaving swells of the Tasman Sea have carved the coastline of the West Coast for millions of years. Nowhere is the effect on the landscape more spectacular and profound than at Punakaiki. Experience the power of the sea as it surges into the sea caves and regularly blasts sea spray high out of the blowholes.

The famous 'Coast Road' to Punakaiki and the Paparoa National Park is one of the most beautiful in the country and follows part of the ancient Greenstone Trails, used by Maori for centuries in search of Pounamu (jade).

Ranked by Lonely Planet as ‘one of the best scenic coastal journeys in the world’.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS:

Take a guided bush walk in the Paparoa National Park
Explore the sub-tropical rainforest
View the towering cliffs of the limestone gorges
Be fascinated by the Pancake Rocks and Blowholes
Take time to ramble on a wild beach
